Whoops - corrected.
Huh? I'm still confused (not unusual in my case. Try it, you get used to it after a while).
Here is the supposedly corrected statement at
https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2975.msg286733.html#msg286733 "Average remaining melt (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in Sept 2020 of 13.48 million km2, 0.40 million km2 below the March 2017 minimum maximum of 13.88 million km2."
I think the correct correction would be:
"Average
remaining melt freeze (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in
Sept 2020 March 2021 of 13.48 million km2, 0.40 million km2 below the March 2017 minimum maximum of 13.88 million km2."
Is this right, or is there need to correct my correction of the correction?
We nitpick because we care. You only hurt the ones you love. Ditto thanks to all the data providers for what has been a wild ride of a melting season. I don't think Friv has even been so thrilled as he was this July. At least somebody's happy! And thanks to Oren we got through it with minimal umbrage and personal insults about our pet theories!
I think there is truth in be cause's tag line:
"2007 + 5 = 2012 + 4 = 2016 + 3 = 2019 + 2 = 2021"
And I would add "+ 1 = 2022". Seriously, the bus could be leaving the station. The trend has been for changes to occur sooner not later than expected. When's the last time you saw a climate change story about how things are evolving slower or less drastically than anticipated? For those of you in the U.S., and everybody everywhere for your own elections, please vote and tell everybody you know to vote for climate rationality. This infection has to be healed or it will kill us. (Sorry, I couldn't resist... I haven't had a good climate scream for awhile.)
Getting back to ASIF business, the path ahead for the coming freeze season, and especially the 2021 melt season, look to be "interesting"
(in the Chinese curse sense of "May you live in interesting times", which we certainly are).
